Whispers of His Power - 30 Days of InspirationSample

By Myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing. . .in blessing I will bless thee.

Gen. 22:16–17

Let us set ourselves to obey God today. Whether the thing He asks of us is great, or so small that we would be ashamed to let anyone know that it cost us anything, let us yield it to him as obediently as Abraham yielded Isaac. The way of obedience is the way of joy. It leads to a blessing that is beyond our understanding, even as the blessing of Genesis 22:17–18 was beyond Abraham’s. It results in blessing for others as well as ourselves. Is there any word of my Lord to me which I am refusing to obey? Perhaps I am arguing about it, or trying to smother and forget it, because I do not want to obey. Obey it — then In blessing I will bless thee is His promise.
